Synopsis:
If
there
was
one
thing
Lilian
Eliot
might
have
said
about
herself,
it
was
that
she
knew
her
own
mind.
She
was
not
a
flighty
girl;
no
one
in
Boston
in
1917
would
have
said
that
about
her.
She
wrote
her
thank-you
notes
promptly
and
had
some
wit
which
saved
her
from
being
too
prim.
No
great
misfortune
had
darkened
her
eighteen
years
-
in
the
distance
now
was
the
war
-
but
otherwise
there
was
no
reason
for
her
life
not
to
be
full
and
prosperous
and
happy.
But
how
does
happiness
come?
As
her
sophisticated
aunt
says,
even
a
girl
who
is
not
an
idiot
can
behave
like
one,
given
the
right
situation
and
the
right
boy.
When
Walter
Vail,
an
enlisted
man
form
New
York,
descends
upon
her,
dazzling
her,
and
then
disappears,
Lilian
feels
she
will
never
marry.
But
years
later
she
develops
an
interest
in
Gilbert
Finch,
an
old
Bostonian
like
herself,
solitary
and
apart,
who
promises
something
she
understands,
and
can
love.
And
Walter
Vail
reappears.
